Lyrics

[00:28.36] Fear
[00:30.30] It's all the same
[00:33.75] Should I evolve
[00:38.08] To tend to these sights
[00:43.78] Said out loud then said again
[00:47.83] If fate's so wrong
[00:51.08] You start to feel lightheaded
[00:55.94] By my admission, nothing grows
[01:02.18] Just a longer list of unsorted laws
[01:08.25]
[01:09.44] So why then
[01:12.51] Has my life made no sound
[01:19.06] And your eyes
[01:21.44] Closing even now
[01:23.17]
[01:27.16] My life made no sound
[01:32.84] I fear your eyes closing
[01:36.90]
[01:44.02] Revolting man
[01:49.58] This sacred chain
[01:54.01] Brought down to trial
[01:59.57] No better man could fail the way
[02:03.69] You needed all
[02:07.24] Keep close the vein of memory
[02:11.42] Thoughts
[02:11.99] The finest river,
[02:14.75] The ravens tends
[02:17.82] All along insisting
[02:21.70] We're worlds away
[02:25.15] So why then
[02:27.84] Has my life made no sound
[02:34.76] And your eyes
[02:37.13] Closing even now
[02:42.81] My life made no sound
[02:48.80] I fear your eyes closing
[02:53.26] Behold the lost
[02:57.34] Behold the Band-Aid
[03:00.78] Behold the lost
[03:04.22] Behold the Band-Aid
[03:07.94]
[03:12.27] These shameful metaphors
[03:17.95] Fought it through the teeth These shameful metaphors Fought it through the teeth
[03:27.99] Biting at your heels
[03:32.80] Fought it cheek to cheek
[03:34.98] So why then
[03:37.29] Has my life made no sound
[03:42.19]
[03:43.71] And your eyes
[03:45.95] Closing even now
[03:51.44] My life made no sound
[03:57.62] I fear your eyes closing
